21   .SH DESCRIPTION
22   .I Rtrace
23   traces rays from the standard input through the RADIANCE scene given by
# Line 35 | Line 37 | value is one or zero.
37   This may be useful for programs that run
38   .I rtrace
39   as a separate process.
40 < In the second form, the default values
40 > .PP
41 > In the second form shown above, the default values
42   for the options (modified by those options present)
43   are printed with a brief explanation.
44   .PP
45 + In the third form, a list of supported features is sent
46 + to the standard output, one per line.
47 + If additional arguments follow, they are checked for presence in
48 + this list.
49 + If a feature includes subfeatures, these may be checked as well by
50 + specifying:
51 + .nf
52 +
53 +        rtrace -features FeatName=subfeat1,subfeat2
54 +
55 + .fi
56 + If any named feature or subfeature is missing, an error is
57 + reported and the program returns an error status.
58 + If all of the named features are present, a zero status is returned.
59 + .PP
60   Options may be given on the command line and/or read from the
61   environment and/or read from a file.
62   A command argument beginning with a dollar sign ('$') is immediately
# Line 242 | Line 260 | This is mostly useful for recovering image dimensions
260   and for creating valid Radiance picture files using the color output
261   format.
262   (See the
263 < .I \-f
263 > .I \-f*
264   option, above.)
265   .TP
266   .BI -n \ nproc
# Line 263 | Line 281 | cores available on the system or the
281   .I \-x
282   setting, which forces a wait at each flush.
283   .TP
284 + .BI -f \ source
285 + Load function and variable definitions from the file
286 + .I source
287 + and assign at the global level.
288 + This may be convenient for altering material appearance on a per-run basis.
289 + The usual set of library directories is searched based on the
290 + .I RAYPATH
291 + environment variable.
292 + These file definitions will override same-named variables
293 + and functions in "rayinit.cal".
294 + .TP
295 + .BI -e \ expr
296 + Set initial definitions from
297 + .I expr,
298 + which may include constant assignments with the ':' character.
299 + .TP
300   .BI -dj \ frac
301   Set the direct jittering to
302   .I frac.
# Line 671 | Line 705 | continue rays with a probability equal to the ray weig
705   divided by the given
706   .I frac.
707   .TP
708 < .BR -ld
708 > .BR \-ld
709   Boolean switch to limit ray distance.
710   If this option is set, then rays will only be traced as far as the
711   magnitude of each direction vector.
712   Otherwise, vector magnitude is ignored and rays are traced to infinity.
713   .TP
714 + .BI -cs \ Ns
715 + Use
716 + .I Ns
717 + bands for spectral sampling rather than the default RGB calculation space.
718 + The maximum setting is controlled by the compiler macro MAXCSAMP, and
719 + defaults to 24.
720 + Larger values for Ns will be reduced to MAXCSAMP.
721 + .TP
722 + .BI -cw " nmA nmB"
723 + Set extrema to the given wavelengths for spectral sampling.
724 + The default is 380 and 780 nanometers.
725 + The order specified does not matter.
726 + .TP
727 + .BR \-co
728 + Boolean switch turns on spectral data output if selected.
729 + The default is to reduce spectral results to RGB, but see the related
730 + .I \-p*
731 + options, below.
732 + .TP
733 + .BI -pc " xr yr xg yg xb yb xw yw"
734 + Use the specified chromaticity pairs for output primaries and white
735 + point rather than the standard RGB color space.
736 + .TP
737 + .BR \-pRGB
738 + Output standard RGB values (the default).
739 + .TP
740 + .BR \-pXYZ
741 + Output standard CIE XYZ tristimulus values rather than RGB.
742 + .TP
743 + .BR \-pY
744 + Produce a single output channel corresponding to photopic luminance.
745 + .TP
746 + .BR \-pS
747 + Produce a single output channel corresponding to scotopic luminance.
748 + .TP
749 + .BR \-pM
750 + Produce a single output channel corresponding to melanopic luminance.
751 + .TP
752   .BI -e \ efile
753   Send error messages and progress reports to
754   .I efile
